As the title says, I was wondering what'd make for good horror in the medium, and thought I'd try to ask here!

Trajectory of Fear is a must read: https://nerdsonearth.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Trajectory-of-Fear.pdf

And it's really important that the table has at least somewhat common understandin of what kind of narrative they are trying to achieve.

This is excellent. Most of the answers here are what game to play, in other words, what mechanics can be used to force the horror feeling. This is purely about narrative, which can apply to any system. Thank you for sharing.

Honestly, this is sort of exactly what I wanted out of asking this, thank you so much!
